Absolutely love Art Ballet Academy. The teachers are amazing and my daughter has grown so much as a dancer here. The performances are always spectacular too. The studio has become a second home to my daughter and I and I will be forever grateful for Masha and the other teachers here.
May 18, 2025 · Kaitlyn BuchananPerfect ballet studio! So happy we found it 13 years ago! It was just what I was looking for. The studio provides such wonderful classical training. Students get to perform Nutcracker and another full classical ballet each year. My oldest carried so much of her training into other forms of dance and theatre productions and beyond. We continue to have new and wonderful experiences today with another child. Performances are top notch with professional quality costumes. They even have adult classes that are awesome. Aside from being an exquisite, beautiful dancer and excellent teacher, the director also happens to have an amazing brain for all details, artistic and administrative. Super great communication, always fast responses, and I don't think there has ever been a billing error in 13 years. Pretty much amazing on all levels!

Feb 19, 2025 · Lisa holderbaughArt Ballet Academy has provided excellent and high quality instruction in ballet for my daughter using the Vaganova curriculum. Since starting at ABA, my daughter has flourished as a dancer. The instructors are amazing and it is a very supportive environment. We love it here!
Feb 19, 2025 · Emma TrevinoMy granddaughter is a student here. She is only 6, and the authentic, formal ballet instruction has increased her love of ballet exponentially in the year she has been here. She told me the other day that she wishes she could live here. It is formal ballet instruction in the Vagonava method for both girls and boys. Their performances of the Nutcracker and Cinderella were exquisite, and very professionally done from the choreography, to the dancers, to the costumes, the sets, and the performance venue I can't wait to see their next performances. If your child has a natural love of ballet, this is the only place in North Texas I would recommend for formal ballet instruction.
